annual  elections  held  for  the  choice  of  church  wardens  and 
vestrymen  of  said  corporation;  also 

Resolved,  That  the  said  vestry  be  and  they  are  hereby  directed 
to  report  to  the  Senate  of  this  State,  on  or  before  the  seventh 
day  of  January  next,  the  amount  of  money  expended  by  said 
corporation  in  building  or  in  aiding  and  assisting  to  build  free 
churches  in  the  destitute  portions  of  the  parish  of  Trinity 
Church,  as  originally  constituted  and  declared,  and  the  names 
of  such  churches,  with  the  amount  expended  upon  each;  also 
the  number  and  names  of  the  churches  in  the  city  of  New-York, 
built,  in  whole  or  in  part,  by  the  said  corporation,  within  the 
last  five  years,  and  the  amount  expended  on  each;  the  number 
and  names  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  churches  situated  in  the 
city  of  New-York,  in  feeble  and  necessitous  circumstances, 
which  have  been  aided  and  assisted  by  the  said  corporation 
within  the  last  five  years,  and  the  amount  of  such  aid  and  assist- 
ance, afforded  annually  or  otherwise,  to  each;  also  the  number 
and  names  of  the  churches  in  the  city  of  New- York  endowed  by 
the  said  corporation  within  the  last  five  years,  and  the  amount 
of  such  endowment  in  each  case;  also, 

"  Resolved,  That  the  said  vestry  be  and  are  hereby  required  to 
report  to  the  Senate  of  this  State,  on  or  before  the  seventh  day 
of  January  next,  whether  any,  and  if  any,  what  appropriations 
have  been  made  by  them  during  the  last  three  years  to  institn- 
tions  of  charity,  benevolence  or  learning,  in  the  city  of  New- 
York,  and  the  amount  to  each ;  also, 

" Resolved,  That  the  said  vestry  be  and  they  are  hereby 
directed  to  report  to  the  Senate  of  this  State,  within  the  first 
week  of  January  next,  the  estimated  value  of  each  lot  and 
parcel  of  land  owned  by  the  said  corporation  in  the  city  of  New- 
York,  irrespective  of  the  leases  thereon. 

" Resolved,  also,  That  said  vestry  report  to  the  Senate  of  this 
State,  on  the  first  week  of  January  next,  a  statement  of  the 
number  of  lots  belonging  to  said  corporation,  the  leases  of  which 
have  expired  within  the  five  years  ending  on  the  first  of  No-

vember,  eighteen  hundred  and  fifty-five,  and  whether  said  lots 
have  been  re-let,  or  have  been  sold,"    Make  the  following 

KEPORT: 

But  before  entering  upon  the  statements  hereinafter  contained, 
the  vestry  beg  leave,  respectfully,  to  aver  that  they  furnish 
the  information  requested  by  the  Senate,  not  as  acknowledging 
the  power  of  the  Senate  to  exact  such  information,  but  in  order 
that  they  may  not  be  deemed  to  be  wanting  in  respect  for  your 
honorable  body,  or  unwilling  to  display  to  the  public  the  state 
of  this  corporation,  its  financial  condition,  and  the  management, 
by  this  vestry,  of  its  property.  They  feel  satisfied  that  the  facts 
presented  in  this  paper  will  remove  any  unfavorable  impression 
detrimental  to  the  interests  of  Trinity  Church,  which  may  have 
been  occasioned  by  representations  which,  it  is  conjectured, 
have  induced  your  honorable  body  to  pass  the  resolutions  above 
contained.  But  being  charged  with  the  care  and  guardianship 
of  a  large  property  and  important  rights,  they  beg  leave, 
respectfully,  to  represent  that  the  requiring  of  such  reports  as 
that  asked  for  by  the  resolutions  of  the  honorable  Senate,  is  not 
justified  by  any  legal  principle,  and  is  oppressive  of  this  corpo- 
ration. If  there  should,  at  any  time,  be  any  just  cause  of  com- 
plaint against  this  corporation,  the  courts  are  open  and  are 
adequate  to  afford  a  remedy;  and  the  entering,  by  the  Legisla- 
ture, upon  an  investigation  into  the  affairs  of  any  single  corpo- 
ration, which  investigation,  if  it  has  any  materiality,  properly 
belongs  to  such  courts,  is  an  assumption  of  their  powers,  and  is 
burdensome  upon  the  corporation  affected,  by. calling  upon  it 
to  justify  itself,  by  laborious  statements,  or  production  of  evi- 
dence to  a  tribunal  which  has  no  power  to  decide.  This  corpo- 
ration has,  within  a  few  years  past,  made  answer  to  two  similar 
calls  for  information  from  the  houses  of  the  Legislature,  the  one 
contained  in  the  resolutions  of  your  honorable  body,  of  the  9th 
day  of  March,  1846,  and  the  other  contained  in  the  resolution! 
of  the  honorable  the  House  of  Assembly,  of  March  4th,  1854. 
There  is  no  provision  in  the  charter  of  this  corporation,  and  no 
general  statute  requiring  it  to  report  to  the  Legislature,  and  be- 
cause this  vestry  have  found  the  answer  to  these  repeated 
requirements  expensive  and  onerous,  and  believe  them  to 


4 


[Senate 


be  an  infringement  of  the  chartered  rights  of  Trinity  Church, 
they  humbly  protest  against  the  right  of  the  Legislature,  or 
either  branch  of  it,  to  call  for  reports  from  this  vestry  relative 
to  the  condition  or  affairs  of  this  corporation. 

In  reference  to  the  inquiry  as  to  the  corporators  of  Trinity 
Church,  the  vestry  state  : 

That  the  total  number  of  the  corporators  is  305,  of  whom  92  are 
communicants^  and  213  are  pew  holders.  The  total  number  of 
communicants,  both  male  and  female,  reported  at  the  last  annual 
convention  of  the  diocese,  was  at  that  time  about  800.  This  was 
shortly  after  the  time  when  the  number  of  the  clergy  of  the 
parish  was  increased  to  nine,  with  a  view  to  promote  the  influ- 
ence of  religion  among  the  poor  residing  in  the  lower  wards  of 
the  city,  and  their  work  having  then  been  recently  commenced, 
a  considerable  increase  may  be  expected  to  the  number  of  com- 
municants above  reported,  after  a  sufficient  time  shall ,  have 
elapsed  to  show  the  result  of  their  labors.  A  like  increase 
may  also  be  expected  from  the  persons  worshiping  in  the  new 
Trinity  Chapel  lately  erected,  who  for  the  space  of  one  year  shall 
have  been  members  of  the  congregation  of  that  chapel.  This 
new  chapel  was  principally  built  for  the  accommodation  of  the 
parishioners  and  their  families  who  had  been  a  long  time  in  the 
parish,  but  had  removed  too  far  from  the  parish  church  and 
chapels  to  continue  to  worship  therein,  and  thus  by  inducing 
their  return  to  increase  the  number  of  our  constituency.  This 
being  an  ancient  parish,  a  large  number  of  its  pew  owners  have 
deceased,  and  their  pews  are  owned  by  their  families,  many  of 
whom  occupy  them  or  let  them  to  others  for  occupancy.  The 
number  of  such  pews  is  124.  A  number  of  pews  amounting  to 
44  are  also  owned  and  occupied  by  females.  These  classes  of 
pew  owners  are  of  course  not  enumerated  among  the  corporators 
because  they  are  not  entitled  to  vote.  Since  the  present  effort 
was  commenced  for  the  spread  of  the  gospel  among  the  poor  in 
the  lower  wards  of  the  city,  the  churches  there  situated,  viz : 
Trinity  Church,  and  St.  Paul's  and  St.  John's  Chapels,  are  well 
attended,  and  their  congregations  are  increasing.  The  congre- 
gation of  the  new  Trinity  Chapel  is  full.    To  further  this  effort 


No.  45.]  5 

among  the  poor,  the  vestry  have  kept  133  pews  belonging  to  the 
church,  or  of  which  it  has  the  use,  free  for  occupancy  by  all. 
These  pews  are  many  of  them  among  the  best  in  the  church  and 


chapels,  and  are  as  follows,  to  wit : 

Church  peivs. 

No.  in  Trinity  Church,   43 

"    St.  Paul's  Chapel,   36 

«    St.  John's  Chapel,   22 

Pevis  of  which  the  Church  has  the  use  for  one  year. 

In  Trinity  Church,   13 

In  St.  Paul's  Chapel,   13 

In  St.  John's  Chapel,   6 

133 

These  133  pews  afford   665  free  seats. 

Besides  these  there  are  in  the  aisles  of  Trinity 

Church  and  Trinity  Chapel  about   400    "  " 

Making  the  total  number  of  free  seats,   1065 


and  at  all  evening  services  all  seats  are  free. 

The  corporators  voting  at  the  annual  election  for  church 
wardens  and  vestrymen  have  been  generally  few  for  a  long 
series^  The  cause  of  this  may  be  found  in  the  confidence  re- 
posed in  the  discreet  and  prudent  management  of  the  affairs  of  the 
vestry,  (a  body  consisting  of  23  persons)  and  in  the  fact  that  in 
the  absence  of  any  contest  the  corporators  have  not  deemed  it 
important  to  exercise  their  privilege  of  voting,  except  to  a 
limited  extent. 

The  number  of  voters  at  the  annual  elections  in  each  of  the 
years  next  mentioned  were  respectively  as  follows,  to  wit :

In  reference  to  the  inquiry  as  to  the  estimated  value  of  each 
lot  and  parcel  of  land  owned  by  this  corporation  in  the  city  of 
New- York,  the  vestry  annex  hereto  a  schedule  marked  A,  show- 
ing as  to  each  lot  its  situation;  its  value  with  the  buildings 
thereon  (the  property  of  the  tenants)  as  assessed  in  1855,  by  the 
officers  of  the  city  for  the  purpose  of  taxation  (except  such  as  are 
exempt  from  taxation,  which  are  particularly  noted) ;  the  estimated 
portion  of  such  value  for  the  buildings;  the  net  value  of  the  lot 
deducting  the  buildings,  irrespective  of  the  leases;  the  annual 
ground  rent  reserved  to  the  church;  the  expiration  of  the  term, 
and  the  present  value  of  the  reversion  and  of  the  ground  rents 
to  the  church.  From  this  schedule  it  will  appear  that  the  total 
value  of  the  property  embraced  therein,  irrespective  of  the 
leases  and  of  the  buildings,  is  $2,668,710.  The  total  amount  of 
the  annual  rents  thereof  is  §71,301.97;  and  the  present  total 
value  of  the  reversions  of  the  church  therein,  including  present 
value  of  ground  rents,  is  $1,984,322.62.  Within  the  period  of 
the  five  years  ending  1st  of  November,  1855,  referred  to  in  the  res- 
olutions of  your  honorable  body,  the  leases  of  84  lots  belonging 
to  this  corporation  have  expired.  Of  these  47  lots  have  been 
re-let,  and  the  reversions  in  fee  of  37  have  been  sold.  And 
during  the  same  period  76  other  lots  of  the  church  have  been 
sold  either  to  the  tenants,  or,  the  lots  being  vacant,  to  other 
purchasers;  making  the  total  number  of  lots  sold  within  said 
five  years  one  hundred  and  thirteen. 

That  the  Senate  may  be  fully  informed  of  the  resources  of  this 
corporation,  and  of  the  charges  to  which  they  are  applied  or  are 
properly  applicable,  the  vestry  do  not  content  themselves  with 
giving  the  information  asked  by  the  resolutions  of  your  honora- 
ble body. 


The  Senate  will  perceive  that  the  whole  present  value  of  the 


No.  45.] 


7 


landed  estate  of  Trinity  Church  exclusive  of  the  present  value 
of  rents,  is  $1,446,371.71. 

In  the  management  of  the  property  of  this  corporation  it  has 
been  the  policy  of  the  vestry  for  a  long  series  of  years,  by  gifts 
of  lots  or  by  proceeds  of  sales,  as  opportunity  afforded,  to  aid 
other  churches  in  the  city  of  New-York  and  in  various  other 
parts  of  the  State,  and  to  found  or  assist  by  the  same  means  in- 
stitutions of  learning  or  charity,  or  to  contribute  to  the  mainte- 
nance and  support  of  the  organization  of  the  church  in  this  State; 
and  by  reason  of  these  gifts  and  sales  the  landed  estate  has  been  and 
is  gradually  diminishing  in  extent,  so  that  now,  out  of  the  lots 
originally  owned  by  Trinity  church, computed  asjhe  vestry  believe 
accurately  at  2068,  not  more  than  691^pmain.  But  owing  to 
the  peculiar  nature  of  the  property,  and  the  fact  that  the  lessees 
alone  offer  to  purchase  leased  lots,  sales  have  at  times  been  slow* 
and  the  vestry,  mainly  in  order  to  meet  the  pressing  needs  of 
other  churches  and  institutions,  has  incurred  a  large  debt  in  an- 
ticipation of  such  sales.  This  debt  on  the  1st  May,  1855,  the 
end  of  the  last  financial  year,  amounted  to  $648,913;  and  in 
effect  for  the  most  part  represents  a  gift  of  an  equal  amount  in 
value  of  land  to  other  churches  or  institutions,  for  it  must  be 
provided  for  out  of  sales  of  such  lands.  The  lots  included 
in  the  foregoing  valuation  comprise  all  the  real  estate  of  this 
corporation,  excepting  so  much  as  is  occupied  by  churches  or 
grave-yards. 

Besides  this  real  estate,  at  the  end  of  the  last  financial  year  it 
possessed  bonds  and  mortgages,  taken  from  purchasers  upon  sales 
of  land,  amounting  to  $199,469.41. 

Thus  the  whole  productive  estate  of  Trinity  Church  is  cor- 
rectly stated  as  follows : 


Cash  in  bank  at  the  end  of  the  last  financial  year,        19,399  46

This  statement  will  make  it  manifest  that  this  vestry  has  done 
its  utmost  to  make  the  capital  of  the  property  of  this  corpora- 
tion available  for  the  founding  or  support  or  promotion  of  reli- 
gious, charitable  or  educational  institutions  or  purposes.  Not 
for  her  parish  nor  lor  her  churches  has  she  thus  disposed  of  this 
estate,  nor  has  she  for  herself  or  her  own  people  incurred  this 
large  debt;  but  for  other  parts  of  the  church  of  God — to  spread 
his  gospel  for  the  increase  of  true  knowledge,  and  to  diffuse  the 
blessings  of  charity,  Trinity  Church  has  hastened  to  dispense 
abroad  out  of  her  own  bounds,  the  surplus  which  she  could 
spare.  It  has  been  said  by  persons  belonging  to  other  churches 
in  the  city  of  New- York,  not  of  the  corporation  of  Trinity 
Church,  that  this  excess ,has  been  given  all  over  the  State,  and 
that  it  ought  to  have  been  distributed  within  that  city.  But  not 
so  have  this  vestry  read  their  duty.  They  have  exercised  a  dis- 
cretion (not  limited  in  its  application  by  law  to  any  section  of 
the  State,)  to  give  where  it  seemed  most  for  the  advantage  of 
the  church  to  which  they  belong.  They  have  the  greater  inter- 
est and  solicitude  concerning  the  city  of  New- York,  and  espe- 
cially those  parts  of  it  which  are  within  the  bounds  of  this 
parish;  but  it  has  never  been  their  policy  to  confine  their  distri- 
bution of  the  surplus  property  of  this  corporation  to  the  churches 
in  this  city. 

The  vestry  have  thus  endeavored  to  show  the  present  condi- 
tion of  the  capital  of  Trinity  Church,  and  the  disposition  hith- 
erto made  of  it.  But  they  desire  further  to  exhibit  the  present 
income  of  the  church  and  the  purposes  to  which  it  is  devoted 


and  is  applicable. 

The  revenue  of  the  church  then  is  as  follows  : 

Rents  from  real  estate  as  per  schedule  A,   $71,301  97 

Pew  rents  (estimated  at),   11,163  50 

Interest  on  bonds  and  mortgages  ($199,469.41)  at 

rates  varying  from  6  to  7  per  cent.,   13,962  85

It  is  apparent  that  in  the  present  position  of  their  aifairs  it  is 
not  in  the  power  of  the  vestry  of  Trinity  Church  to  render  as- 
sistance to  any  great  extent  to  other  churches,  the  want  of  which, 
this  vestry  conjectures,  has  prompted  an  application  to  your 
honorable  body,  and  has  been  the  remote  cause  of  the  action  to 
which  this  communication  is  a  response.  And  the  same  cause, 
the  inability  to  distribute  a  surplus  which  the  vestry  did  not

U 


possess,  lias  limited  the  appropriations  of  money  to  the  relief  of 
other  churches  for  the  five  years  referred  to  in  the  resolutions, 
in  like  manner  as  it  is  a  restraint  for  this  year.  The  debt  has 
not  within  that  time  been  diminished  but  increased,  whilst  the 
vestry  has  sold  as  much  land  as  there  was  demand  for.  More- 
over, demands  of  a  different  kind  press  upon  the  vestry.  All 
but  one  of  the  churches  of  this  corporation  are  situated  in  the 
lower  part  of  the  city,  surrounded  by  the  poor,  the  ignorant, 
and  the  emigrant;  a  district  which  (with  the  single  exception  of 
a  floating  chapel  for  seamen)  all  other  churches  and  congrega- 
tions of  our  communion,  and  with  few  exceptions  of  other  com- 
munions, have  deserted.  The  duty  has  therefore  fallen  upon 
Trinity  Church  to  gather  the  people  of  this  district,  who  belong 
to  the  Protestant  Episcopal  church,  into  four  churches  :  Trinity 
Church,  St.  Paul's  Chapel,  St.  John's  Chapel  and  St.  George's,  in 
Beekman  street,  to  minister  to  them  the  holy  offices  of  religion; 
to  aid  and  to  instruct  them,  and  to  that  end  to  establish 
and  maintain  schools  and  to  devise  and  execute  a  judicious  sys- 
tem of  alms-giving,  and  of  the  visitation  and  giving  advice  to 
the  poor,  through  clerical  and  lay  assistance  and  labor.  On 
such  plans  for  the  good  of  the  poor  has  the  vestry  now  entered. 
They  have  been  in  part  devised  and  in  part  executed,  and  fur- 
ther measures  for  the  attainment  of  the  same  ends  are  yet  in 
contemplation.  Hence  must  arise  a  considerable  increase  of  the 
annual  expenses  of  Trinity  Church  for  the  benefit  of  her  own 
people,  and  a  proportionate  want  of  power  to  respond  to  the 
applications  for  aid  from  other  congregations.  To  such  appli- 
cations she  has  ever  been  willing  to  respond,  regulating  her  gifts 
by  her  ability  and  her  judgment  of  what  was  required  for  the 
good  of  the  church ;  but  she  has  never  been  able  to  keep  pace 
with  the  unreasonable  and  exaggerated  notions  both  of  the  duty 
of  her  vestry  and  of  the  value  of  her  estate  which  have  long 
been  entertained  by  many  members  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
church. 

It  has  already  been  stated  in  this  communication  that  this  cor- 
poration has,  by  gifts  and  grants  of  money  and  land  made  from 
time  to  time  for  a  long  series  of  years,  greatly  diminished  its 
estate.  The  vestry  now  proceed  to  make  briefly  a  statement  of 
such  gifts  and  grants,  not,  however,  confining  themselves  to  the 


12 


[Senate 


periods  or  to  the  objects  specified  in  the  resolutions  of  your  hon- 
orable body,  and  the  vestry  beg  leave  to  express  the  hope  that 
the  information  they  have  thus  afforded,  both  that  in  direct 
response  to  the  inquiries  of  the  Senate,  and  that  not  required  by 
the  resolutions  herein  inserted,  may  be  satisfactory  to  your  hon- 
orable body. 

This  corporation  made  the  donations  of  property  or  land  to

During  the  three  years  preceding  the  13th  day  of  April,  1855, 
Trinity  Church  has  made  the  following  and  no  other  appropria- 
tions to  institutions  of  charity,  benevolence  and  learning  in 
the  city  of  New- York : 

Grants  of  burial  plots  in  Trinity  Cemetery. 
To  the  orphan  asylum  a  plot  containing  621  square  feet.

purpose  of  affording  increased  church  accommodation  for  the

congregations  of  Trinity  Church,  and  when  the  expense  of  main- 
taining and  performing  the  manifold  offices  aud  duties  connected 
with  such  a  charge  as  falls  upon  this  church  has  greatly  in- 
creased. But  the  following  condensed  statement  will  lead  to  a 
just  estimate  of  the  unvarying  policy,  governed  by  which  this

[Senate 


Annuities  and  donations  to  aged  and 
infirm  clergymen,  and  to  widows 

and  families  of  deceased  clergymen,  126 , 934  38 

Being  a  total  for  the  purposes  last 

enumerated,  of  172  lots  and  $286 ,111  83 


Thus  has  this  corporation  administered  its  estate,  freely  grant- 
ing it  for  the  spread  of  religion  in  all  parts  of  the  State  for  the 
support  of  ministers  of  the  gospel,  and  the  succor  of  their 
families,  and  for  the  aid  and  endowment  of  institutions  of  learn- 
ing. It  has  for  these  purposes  paid  and  appropriated  in  money 
$1,287,392.75,  and  given  a  large  numer  of  lots  of  land;  by  these 
means  diminishing  its  property  to  one-third  its  original  extent. 

The  vestry  have,  in  this  communication,  ventured  to  give  a 
more  complete  statement  of  the  condition  and  acts  of  the  church 
than  is  expressly  called  for  by  the  resolutions  of  your  honorable 
body,  because  they  deemed  it  expedient  for  the  more  perfect 
justification  of  this  corporation,  and  because  they  were  confident 
that  the  Senate  would  receive  it  as  an  answer  more  satisfactory 
than  a  more  limited  return. 

WM.  E.DUNSCOMB,  Comptroller.
